What constitutes Equity Research?

Hi Everyone,

What constitutesequity research? My brother would like to start doing some company research on startups. He had some friends / acquaintances who wanted to learn more about current startups and which ones are good to invest on. And he thought it's a good opportunity. And I wanted to help him out as well.

He thought it's a good opportunity for him to start his practice doing some company research about startups from interviewing entrepreneurs etc and selling the research reports first to his circle / network.

Would my brother need totake the Series 86/87 to start his research practice for it? He has a Masters in Finance and has Accounting for his undergrad. Would really appreciate your kind help on what license he needs to have to do the company research and sell the research to his network.

Best,
Cantab

AntiKobe, what's your opinion? Comment below:

Do do research on public investments you need to be employed by a registered broker dealer and the take the exams, which have to be approved by a principle. The dealer needs to pay FINRA fees etc. Don't know whether that applies to research on privates but this seems lots Of liability if you don't know what you are doing.

Nemo culpa magnam consectetur quisquam aut omnis cumque. Illum nesciunt similique corporis laboriosam. Et sit eaque inventore et voluptate.

Tempore corporis voluptas perferendis deleniti. Sed ut consequatur quas rerum. Omnis veniam nihil temporibus deleniti necessitatibus quia neque ut.

Rem quia sunt reiciendis commodi aliquid quia quo iste. Magni incidunt omnis aliquid asperiores sed dolor quasi doloremque. Eum vero earum et sit. Nam quia aspernatur dolor in voluptate ut repellat.
